Arrogance?

What's wrong with a CASHIERS check? Money orders for an unknown source could be suspect. Like I told someone once: If your check is so great, then you shouldn't have any problem going to your bank to get CASH before you come".  CASH talks and Bull$hit buys nothing. 

Was close to saying OK
Got old, accepting the nonsense is long gone.

He explained how IPD Kits were worthless would have to overhaul again, air ride is junk, would change it all and go air disc brakes even as all new on it. More trouble than worth.

WB too Short, cab needed work, paint no good as could see in photo. Blah blah blablah. Nope, go away.

Cashiers from OH to MO, had already discussed with my bank, can recall funds up to thirty days. Good chance of scammer. Not taking chances at my age.

Sounds like to me if it was that far from what he wanted he had no business calling in the first place.

Was my Original thoughts, and then could not shake them the further it went along.

I'm with you. Kinda like talking bad about your dog

Listed a HD5B dozer I had and got a few calls on it and one guy came out to look . 
First ting was it was to old and not worth the price , Hmm listed it as a 1950 machine in add . 
Next was cutting edge worn on blade - Hmm you could replace it or use it as is .
Next was tracks look worn - Hmm just replaced them and are over 50% as pins and bushings turned and grouser bars welded up 
Next why are you selling it if a good machine - Hmm because I just bought a FD5 with a 6 way blade and 40 HP more than this machine has for my business . 
AH YES then the price - offer $700 LESS than what I was asking . Somehow the remark I would be a fool to not accept his offer as machine was not worth what I was asking .
 So just told him I would let him know in a month or so if I would take his offer as add had a couple weeks to run yet . 
  Parked out front by road , couple days later guy stopped and asked about it , said he would give me my price if I delivered it to his place 25 miles away for same asking price . Loaded it onto trailer and it went to it's new home .

 You know right away when a deal with a cashiers check and a shipper are involved the deal is CASH ONLY . If you have a check - stop at a bank and convert it to greenbacks , then come and pick it up .

Thanks all for the support, just had to vent as needed to be rid of the thoughts.

Most times just writing them out and throwing in the burn barrel works too.

My favorite response to arrogant people is " You really don't know how little I care "!
